The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you a re welcome to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants ov er the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, a ffectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a chec k-in\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know eac h other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for rea dings* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if the y want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session:\n\n\nHis student s said to him\,\n"Your brothers and your mother are standing just outside the door."\n"My true mother and brothers are those present right here who fulfill my Father's desires.\nIt is they who will get into my Father's rea lm\," he replied.\n–Logion 99 from The Gospel of Thomas\nHow to join:\n\ n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/9686580892 3\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006 833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Area?   Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoo m link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme impo rtance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically ourselves.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Resonant-Reading.png CATEGORIES:Adult,Learning,Ongoing Events,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
